Video says barrel and receiver are PTR, comments say something about the cocking tube/lever not being OG. Everything else should/might be from the kits, will have to see.
Would be nice if they offer parts kits, with 50k I would think but time will tell.
Ciene
On the video receiver it says:
CA-3
Century Arms, inc
Georgia, VT
Might change but im not Century or PTR just a PTR109 owner who would love a stock G3(full auto)
Ciene
50,000 kits to be assembled by PTR at sub 1k prices. Hopefully this brings more people into the g3/PTR91 fanbase. I hope conex full of mags to keep the prices down. Will have to see the quality but lets hope for the best.

Smoothbore slightly smaller then a 16g shell

Could be looking at some photos of the armor at the time. It could also be just the style of the time like the jezail with its weird stock. When I first saw it I was thinking 70s art with the brass and flowers on the wood.

I picked this interesting piece up at auction a while back. People were bidding over msrp for Glocks and 870 trade-ins, but this one sold for >300. Its missing some parts, and has taken some damage over the years, but otherwise in great shape. I figured it was a fake when I first saw it, as the stock is so small. But if its real its very very old, and im happy to have it. My wiki guess is 18th* century.

I picked this interesting piece up at auction a while back. People were bidding over msrp for Glocks and 870 trade-ins, but this one sold for >300. I figured it was a repro wall piece, and would also look cool on my wall. But now that I have it, I’m not sure if its original or not, what do y'all think? Its about 5feet 3 or so inches tall making it hard to get a photo of the whole thing in one go.

Im in for a flecktarn pc sign me up. I bet you would get 25 orders, plenty of people in GA/FL rock the 'tarn. There was a person that was modifying flecktarn pants to have kneepads and a modern cut. Some people want more modern flecktarn designs and it cant hurt to try a preorder right?
Ciene
Can we get some pics of the bike? Maybe a video of it running? Also, what color is it, how flat is the back tire, when was it last run, and is maintenance up to date?

The lawmakers passed it, but Deal shot it down. So running a dead red light is still illegal. Granted Deal said this about it.
Lane filtering if I remember correctly is sitting in the roster, but will most likely stay until it expires. Even if the lawmakers agree, Deal will shoot it down. If you want to read it.
Dead Red hurts no one, with only the rider around. No way will Filtering be legal in Georgia.

I would upgrade the helmet immediately, they are only made to D.O.T standards. When I started I bought a BILT helmet, and it felt like hard packing foam. When I got home, my dad (decades in motorcycles) took a look at it, said to return it. If you try on a better helmet, you will feel the difference. I would keep it for the closet, for a friend to wear if you take them around the block, but not on a highway.
Same with the gloves, you might want higher quality leather between you, and the asphalt. Nothing wrong with Cyclegear's brand gear, just avoid the helmets. I honestly use Cyclegear explorer pants, and one of their winter jackets for my cold weather gear, and I wear better mesh for my summer gear.

Bee fanatic here, it's true. She will go on a mating flight, and mate with 18-24 drones(they travel in a group called a comet ), and then she goes back to the hive to potential lay eggs for up to I believe 3-4 years before the stores dry up, and she would have to be replaced. In practice though, queens rarely last a year(they are replaced, not running out of the bee juice) in my experience.
Ciene
Actually, when a virgin queen goes on a mating flight, she will mate with 18-24 or so drones(the only male bees in a hive). Then she will go back to her hive, and lay eggs until the day the hive dies, or the workers decide to replace her.
The queen started out by emerging from her cell,murdering off all the other would be queens (usually around 6-8), telling the workers shes boss, and then flying off for her one night freak fest.

I would say get a high vis vest from Home depot, Walmart, or Amazon, one with reflective parts on them. Like the ones construction workers wear. No need to get a motorcycle branded one. One with a zipper, velcro might not stay at high speeds.
Personally, I commute at 3am, so I wear high vis pants/jacket (actual motorcycle gear), and I have some reflective tape on my bike. But when I ride during the day with my leather jacket, I put the $20 vest on, and take it off before I go into stores, or restaurants.

You might want to look into a Vulcan 500. It looks just like what you ride now, and personally, I love mine. It has great power, and you can throw the thing around. The bike was made for some 20+ years, and the engine is borrowed from the ninja 500.
You should be able to pick one up for $2,000-2,500.

Also try your local ag extension, they should be able to point you in the right way.

Georgia, I imagine the adulterated honey being a felony is across the states, but I am not sure.
/u/madapiarist would know the Canadian laws.
Ciene
There was a product on here a while ago that had a spicy pepper added to the jar.
Ciene
Well sugar honey is called adulterated honey, if its in your knowledge that the bees have consumed sugar, and made honey, and if you do not label it as such, that's a felony.
Now if you feed them in the spring, that's one thing, but if you try to feed them before harvesting for more money, that's the felony part. You also need to label if you add anything, such as sugar, or corn syrup, or a pepper, or fruit, or w/e. A guy in my state was caught red handed with a 55 gal drum of corn syrup in his honey house he got 3 years, and a large fine for it.
It would be less healthy, as pure sugar does not contain the pollen, and other important things that natural plant nectar would have.
As for taste, I always found it to be bland, or watermelon tasting, depending on if it was pure sugar, or partly nectar.
You can send a sample to the lab to be tested, other then that, its kind of hard, unless you consume a lot of real honey, then come accross the fake, and that might not always be true.

To much spacing between top bars will cause frames to be over drawn, to much room up top will cause burr comb, and drone/honey production to be wasted. You should keep the bottom board spacing in mind, as it may add extra space. I have had a few rogue bees try to connect the bottom of the frames to the mesh of the bottom board, but its rare.
Hoping with them getting all of Portugal's rifles they get the bi pods and any optics/mounts that they had for them. I can see posts from 2008 with people selling optics for 150 advertising the ability to take them off the claw mounts to put on other stannag mounts. I hope this is our version of the 1891 carcano carbine arsenal dump from a few years back.
